Cadillac Elmiraj: Hot Wheels Casting Info & Complete Collector’s Guide

Browse all collector guides · All casting guides A–Z

Hot Wheels released seven versions of its Cadillac Elmiraj casting between 2015 and 2020. This guide follows the Cadillac Elmiraj casting across Street Power, HW Exotics, Factory Fresh, Throwback Series 1 and a five-pack, with finishes and toy codes to identify each issue.

About the Elmiraj casting

The Elmiraj is a low, two-door Cadillac concept coupe. Hot Wheels introduced its 1:64 casting in 2015. Across seven documented releases, the same long hood and sweeping roofline appear in a run of distinct colors and series; finish, toy code and packaging identify the exact issue.

The first two releases arrived in Street Power and share the #25/250 series position. Later Elmiraj cars moved through HW Exotics and Factory Fresh, then into Throwback Series 1 and a 2020 five-pack.

Collector notes

Start with the toy code when packaging is available. For a loose car, combine that number with its body finish: midnight blue and dark red in 2015, black in 2016, pearl white and steel blue in 2017, burgundy in 2019, and dark blue in the 2020 pack.

The seven-release checklist and identifying details were checked against HWC Garage’s Elmiraj catalog and individual release records.

Value Research

For a useful comparison, match the Elmiraj release code, finish and package type first, then compare condition and whether the original card or pack is included. A loose casting and a sealed example are different collecting records.

Use the seven-release checklist and variation web to confirm the exact version before comparing completed sales. Series position alone does not establish rarity or value.

Collector FAQs

When did Hot Wheels first release the Cadillac Elmiraj?

The 1:64 casting debuted in 2015 in Street Power. The documented family in this guide runs through a 2020 five-pack release.

How many documented Elmiraj releases are listed here?

Seven documented issues are listed, from CFH11 through GHP50. The two 2015 Street Power versions share the #25/250 position but have different toy codes and finishes.

How can I tell the Elmiraj versions apart?

Use the toy code and release year first, then compare the finish and the series or package. Body color alone can be misleading when lighting and aging affect a loose car.

Does a series number mean a separate casting?

No. A series position identifies one release within a lineup. The Cadillac Elmiraj remains the same casting; its release code, finish and packaging identify the individual issue.
